Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment types use roll pins like the 914046?
A: Roll pins are used in electric pallet jacks, hand pallet jacks, walkie stackers, and electric lift trucks from brands like Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster for securing components such as wheels, caster assemblies, and pivot points.
Q: Why might a roll pin need replacement on material handling equipment?
A: Roll pins can wear, shear, or become lost due to vibration and movement during equipment operation. Symptoms include loose wheels, spinning casters, misaligned load arms, or rattling noises. Replacing a damaged roll pin restores proper alignment and component security.
Q: What is the difference between a roll pin and a solid pin?
A: A roll pin is a hollow, spring-loaded cylindrical fastener that compresses when inserted, creating a secure friction fit. Solid pins do not compress. Roll pins allow for easier installation and removal without damaging equipment holes.
Q: Can roll pins be reused after removal?
A: Typically, roll pins should be replaced rather than reused. Repeated compression and removal can weaken the spring tension and material, reducing their holding strength and reliability.
Q: What materials are used in roll pin construction?
A: Roll pins are typically made from spring steel or stainless steel. Spring steel offers high strength and durability for general industrial applications, while stainless steel resists corrosion in wet or freezing environments.
